My worst example was the word GIF pronounced like the peanut butter instead of properly as in Graphical. It’s worse because Amanda Montell was writing a linguistics book about the history of language and words.
Recent example was “eschew” which is pronounced Eh-shoo but the narrator said “Eskew” and it confused me so much I had to Google it to make sure I hadn’t been saying it wrong my whole life. What exmaples have you found?
Hijacking but typos: good grief!
I just started a new book yesterday ‘Exotic Vetting’ by a very experienced wildlife vet.
It’s very funny, but in the first 3 chapters we’ve had calm spelt ‘clm’ and ‘Lancôme should have an accent on the o’ dropped into the middle of the text.
How do you leave an editing note in the text of a published book?!
